Looks like everybody has fun! Now... I need to make a video across the road from me (empty paved city lot).

I like getting it sideways and drifting around from time to time but given the traffic and amount of idiots on the road in my area I just lock it in 4x4 as soon as it starts getting slick. I can't tell you how many emergency moves I've had to pull that would have been real dicey without 4wd locked due to morons who clearly have no clue how to drive in bad weather. The "Best" one was the mustang that was out in the last decent storm with bald summer tread, thankfully he ended up in the snowbank before he took out someone else.

Just bought a 2wd '05 QC with the base 4.7. I've only had it in one storm, nothing special. But I have serious fun in my work truck, it's an '08 Ram 4500 box truck. Baaaald tires. 80,000 miles on the rears makes for some badass dualie tail sliding.

I'll post in new members with the pics I have when I get to my pc, on my phone now. Its in the shop getting warranty stuff done. I should have 3 pics in my garage now though. I'll probably add my 4500 too if I get some pics of it, I spend most my life in that one anyways..

Really looking forward to getting used to my Dak though. Looks just like a little version of the 4500 inside, but with back seats.
